from my experience 4 khz is enough to understand speech. My can do 8khz while my. hearing aid ear can do 4 khz. 8 khz give more detailed speech, hearing aid sound like you are talking through a door, clearly intelligible but you lose some of the high freq information

I bought Phonak in the ear hearing aids 3 years ago. My current audiologist told me that they can last 7 years. The repairs costs most likely will be less than buying new aids. I have severe to profound in one ear and moderate to severe in the other. I have not tired Costco so can’t say how I would like them but I have changed audiologists and found that this helped a lot.

Hi, I am new to this hearing tracker, but because there is some discussions on severe loss, I thought i would give my thinking on this matter.

I wear signia AX hearing aids with a high power receiver, they program up to 132 db which is quite powerful, but you also have good speech recognition with the ability to reduce other sounds as the AX stand additional feachers
